There is a song that is driving me crazy. I think it came out in the 70's, and I love the song, and I want to find the lyrics online and I can't. I don't even know the title, or who sings it. As a kid, it kind of reminded me of "Suicide Is Painless", but it's not the same song. (Maybe the same artist?) I used to think it was a breakup song, but as I grab the lyrics here and there, it seems it's about a young person contemplating suicide because of a lost love. I think the main lyrics are..."Fool if you think it's over,Cause you said goodbye,Fool if you think it's over,I'll tell you why,Newborn eyes always cry with pain,When they first look at the mornin' sun,Fool if you think it's over,It's just begun."

I really love this song. Please help. Thanks.

Chris Rea is who sang dat song- "Fool (if you think it's over)" back in the '70s. The album it comes from pretty much sucks but his best-of cd is pretty good. Remember "Let's Dance" from the late late '80s? That was him too.

i dug up lyrics for ya, tiki-

Dyin' flame, you're free againWho could love, do that to youAll dressed in black, he won't be comin' backLook, save your tearsGot years and yearsThe pains of seventeen'sUnreal they're only dreamsSave your cryin' for the day

Fool if you think it's over'Cause you said goodbyeFool if you think it's overI'll tell you whyNew born eyes always cry with painAt the first look at the mornin' sunFool if you think it's overIt's just begun

Miss Teenage Dream, such a tragic sceneHe knocked your crown and ran awayFirst wound of pride, and how you cried and criedBut save your tears, got years and years

Fool if you think it's over'Cause you said goodbyeFool if you think it's overI'll tell you why...

(Fool if you think it's over)(Fool if you think it's over)

I'll buy you first good wineWe'll have a real good timeSave your cryin' for the dayThat may not comeBut anyone who had to payWould laugh at you and say

Fool if you think it's over'Cause you said goodbyeFool if you think it's overI'll tell you whyNew born eyes always cry with painAt the first

Thanks, xc. I love that song. But the only "Let's Dance" that comes to mind from the 80's is from the early 80's and from David Bowie.

"Let's Dance" was a mostly FM album rock hit. Rea's voice was pretty scratchy on this one, scratchy a la Robbie Robertson but more melodic. Musically it was in the Boz Scaggs school of blue eyed soul rock. Here be the lyrics-

When you sing of the joy only love can bring

Heaven knows it's in my heart and my soul.Caught in a world full of tearsso many bad times and fears.So while there's a chance and you're near -Let's dancelet's dance

There's a world far away from the one we see

There's a dream I will never let go.One thing is certainly true: This moment's for me and for you.So while there's not a thing here we can do -Let's dancelet's dancelet's dancelet's dance

That "fool if you think it's over" tune is cool--never listened to the lyrics but wow that's pretty powerful shit! Thanks for posting it xc!I dunno the let's dance song either. Oh well!

"Ultimately, the truth will come out in all of this and I will be standing on the right side of the roaring rapids. I hope other people will be too. I know the truth and if I had to walk away from all of it today, the job, the career, all of it, and go toodle-oo, then fine."
